Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

I recently had Kwet come to my apartment to fix a number of issues, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. Not only did Kwet expertly handle every repair needed, but he also did so with remarkable speed and efficiency. What stood out most, however, was his respectful and friendly demeanor throughout the entire process. Kwet was incredibly approachable and willing to offer valuable advice, which was greatly appreciated. His expertise and willingness to go above and beyond truly made a difference. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and skilled in their work. I highly recommend Kwet for any repair needs. He’s a true professional who ensures everything is done perfectly. If you’re looking for someone reliable, efficient, and friendly, Kwet is definitely the person to call!

I moved into the Merrill House with my family a few weeks ago and it has definitely exceeded my expectations. The building is old and has its quirks, but our apartment spacious (the closets are amazing), the management is friendly and helpful, and the location couldn't be better. We walk to shops and out to eat. I take the kids to the pool everyday. We play on the big lawn out front. Really happy!
